Mold is more common in Colorado homes than many people expect. In this episode, we talk about how it forms, the misconceptions around mold in a dry climate, and the approaches buyers and sellers can consider when dealing with moisture and mold concerns in a transaction or in day-to-day living. We also look at Boulder’s market movers in Sales of the Week, review data on expired and withdrawn listings, and discuss the latest news on Class C rentals and proposed 50-year mortgages. Our carve-outs include the recent Aurora Borealis, the history of Veterans Day in Boulder, and our plans for recording in person.

The House Einstein Podcast is available wherever you podcast. Hosted by Osman Parvez and Hamish Crabb.

“I’ve stood outside my house in Montana looking at the northern lights, crackling against the night sky. To me, that’s magic.”
